• I have been on the internet since 1993 and have always been disappointed that a subscription/donation model didn’t beat out an ad-driven model. I wonder if this is going to push us towards a subscription/donation model as things move behind paywalls tplo protect against bots.

  I don’t really want to pay subscription fees, but I am definitely tired of ads and being the product. I’d rather be sold a good product.
